NRIs seek protection of temples in Malaysia
New York, Sept. 7 (PTI): A leading organisation of non resident Indians (NRIs)
has strongly condemned the reported demolition of some Hindu temples in
Malaysia, asserting that Islam does not permit destroying of places of worship.
In a letter to Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmed Badwai, released here
yesterday, NRIs for Secular and Harmonious India demanded that zoning and other
laws in Malaysia should fully respect the rights of minorities and ensure that
their religious places are well protected.
Expressing "great dismay and concern" over reports of demolition, the letter
branded the action as "unfortunate disregard of rights and sentiments of an
important patriotic segment" of Malaysia. "We hope and pray that you will stop
the illegal demolitions of the Hindu temples in Malaysia and not allow
tarnishing of the good international image of your respected country," the
letter said.
"Islam does not permit destruction of places of worship. Prophet Mohammed did
not demolish any synagogues in Medina. Malaysia is noted and respected for its
pluralistic ethos and ethnic unity; it is regarded as a modern progressive and
peaceful nation in the international community," it said.
